Dalila Burin
Researcher in Cognitive Neuroscience
I currently am a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Research Fellow at the Trinity College Dublin (ADAPT Centre, School of Computer Science and Statistics) where I explore how visual manipulations of the virtual body can affect the physical body, in terms of motor, cognitive, physiological and cortical reactions.

About
The ultimate goals of my research activity are
THEORETICAL GOAL: understanding and describing bodily self-awareness to integrate theoretical models of motor control;
CLINICAL GOAL: providing insight for motor and cognitive rehabilitation strategies;
TECHNICAL GOAL: expand the use of game-based technology for neuroscientific purposes.
​
I employ different techniques, but the most compelling and fruitful is Immersive Virtual Reality (IVR), which induces the illusory sense of body ownership over a virtual body and its movements, and, in turn, it causes other beneficial effects on different functional levels.
​
In addition, I exploit other brain imaging/stimulation techniques (e.g., fNIRS, TMS, EEG) physiological (e.g., skin conductance, EMG, heart rate, neuroendocrine measurements), behavioral (e.g., the rubber hand illusion) and subjective methods (e.g., cognitive/neuropsychological test and questionnaires).
